Sony’s Mylo will be Linux based

by DJ Neawedde | 9th August 2006

LinuxDevices.com is reporting that the Sony Mylo (Mylo - My Life Online), shipping September, will be based on an unspecified version of Linux.

“Along with an unspecified version of Linux, the Mylo is based on Trolltech’s Qtopia Platform, a relatively new graphics and application development framework that features a plug-in framework aimed at multi-function consumer electronics devices.”

“Interestingly, when it launched Qtopia Platform, Trolltech said the stack would initially support Wind River’s Platform for Consumer Electronics, Linux Edition. Thus, the Sony Mylo may well be the first relatively high-profile consumer electronics device to incorporate Wind River’s embedded Linux OS.”
